What else can I help you with?
What name is this process when rocks break down?
the process is called weathering when the rocks break down
When rocks break what is it called when they move?
It is called erosion.
What are the vibrations called when rocks break?
The vibrations that occur when rocks break are called seismic waves. These waves are generated by the sudden release of energy during rock fractures and can travel through the Earth, causing earthquakes.
What process can break rocks apart?
erosion can break rocks apart, weathering can also break rocks apart
A fracture surface along which rocks can slip is called what?
That is called a fault. A fault is a break in the Earth's crust where rocks on either side can move relative to each other due to tectonic forces.
What name is this process when rocks break down?
the process is called weathering when the rocks break down
When rocks break what is it called when they move?
It is called erosion.
What is shaking or vibration in the underground rocks of moon?
The shaking or vibration in the underground rocks of the moon is called a moonquake. Moonquakes were first discovered by the Apollo astronauts and are known to last for as long as an hour.
What is is it called when plate movement causes rocks to break?
When plate movement causes rocks to break it is call an earthquake.
When rocks are eroded they break down into smaller pieces of minerals and rocks called what?
Sediment.
What is the process in which rocks first bend and then break?
The process in which rocks first bend and then break is called deformation. Deformation occurs when rocks experience stress, which can be caused by tectonic forces, pressure, or temperature changes. Initially, rocks may bend or fold under this stress, but if the stress is too great, the rocks can eventually break or fracture.
What is a break or crack along which rocks moved called?
A break or crack along which rocks move is called a fault. Sudden motion along the faults result to earthquakes.
What is a break in earth's crust which rocks move is called what?
A fault.
When stress cause rocks to break vibrations called?
earthquake
When rocks eroded they break down into smaller pieces of rocks and minerals called?
Sedimentation
What is it called when rocks break and they move along surfaces?
This process is called "faulting," where rocks break and slide against each other due to tectonic forces, creating faults in the Earth's crust.
What are vibrations that occur when rocks break due to stress called?
Earthquakes
